An unusually usual late season and long duration nor'easter brought strong winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding to eastern Massachusetts.  A preliminary check suggested this was the worst late May winterlike nor'easter since May 25-26, 1967.Although most wind gusts were reported between 45 and 55 mph, some gusts estimated as high as 60 mph brought down trees and power lines over a large area.  At least 20,000 electric customers lost service at various times during this storm.  As a consequence of saturated ground and trees with foliage, the impact of the wind was greater than what would normally be expected by these wind speeds.  Moderate coastal flooding occurred during two high tide cycles.  Numerous shore roads along the eastern Massachusetts coast were flooded to the extent of being impassible for a time.  Considerable rock and sand debris were washed onto shore roads, and there were spotty reports of damage to structures.No injuries were directly related to the storm.
